 ANCIENT EGYPT : The Eyes
With the Sole Eye of Atum transformed into the uraeus of Re's crown, the theogonic phase of the "zep tepy" was over, namely the Self-creation of Atum, simultaneous with the coming into being of Shu and Tefnut and his subsequent coronation thanks to the Single Eye fetching back his children.
The cobra-goddess Wadjet on Pharaoh's crown, like the plummet of the balance, defended the borders of the world to allow Pharaoh to establish Maat.
Both the cobra and the left eye were called "Wadjet", underlining the continuity between the cosmological cycle (Single Eye of Atum) and the anthropological or societal cycle (restored left Eye of Horus).
